EURGBP is bearish. The 0.8600 support however has thus far held on a closing

basis. Attention is still on the candle patterns on Oct 16/17. On both these

days, long-legged doji formations unfolded. This is an early sign the cross may

be basing however, a convincing breach of resistance at 0.8717 is required to

reinforce this and also signal the start of a corrective phase higher. Until

then, the trend remains down with scope for 0.8491, May 6 low.
